Current research in this area focuses on the development of "environmentally friendly" methods for organic synthesis including the application of supercritical fluids as reaction media for organic synthesis and the use of microwave irradiation to promote synthetic reactions. Environmentally friendly strategies for pest control are also being investigated.
